[SOLVED] DNS Error Resolving MX

Post by GetZWorking »

Hello Zimbra community,



The Error

DNS ERROR resolving MX for zimbra.local-dns.com

It is suggested that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS

Change domain name? [Yes]
I've read plenty of threads about this issue. The host name works with my DNS, but it looks like the mail exchanger is not configured correctly. See my network information below.
Any help would be appreciated.



cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

**.**.205.36 zimbra.local-dns.com zimbra
cat /etc/resolv.conf

search localdomain

nameserver **.**.204.122

nameserver **.**.205.183
dig local-dns.com mx
; <<>> DiG 9.3.4-P1 <<>> local-dns.com mx

Change domain name? [Yes][/QUOTE]The correct answer to give at this point of the install is 'Y' and change the domain name to "local-dns.com" then continue with the installer.
